JOURNAL BEST BOOK OF 2018 Selected by Fady Joudah as a winner of
the 2017 National Poetry Series, Jos Charles's revolutionary second
collection of poetry, feeld, is a lyrical unraveling of the
circuitry of gender and speech, defiantly making space for bodies
that have been historically denied their own vocabulary. "i care so
much abot the whord i cant reed." In feeld, Charles stakes her
claim on the language available to speak about trans experience,
reckoning with the narratives that have come before by reclaiming
the language of the past. In Charles's electrifying transliteration
of English-Chaucerian in affect, but revolutionary in effect-what
is old is made new again. "gendre is not the tran organe / gendre
is yes a hemorage." "did u kno not a monthe goes bye / a tran i kno
doesnt dye." The world of feeld is our own, but off-kilter,
distinctly queer-making visible what was formerly and forcefully
hidden: trauma, liberation, strength, and joy. Urgent and vital,
feeld composes a new narrative of what it means to live inside a
marked body.
